DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran explain what their new DC Universe means for The Flash and Aquaman characters after their respective movies release this year
DC Studios comments on the future of The Flash and Aquaman franchises after their solo movies. The DC Universe is going in a new direction following the launch of DC Studios in November 2022. Led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, DC Studios is replacing the former DC Films division as Warner Bros. Discovery attempts to elevate the comic book brand. Under their management, Gunn and Safran are now in charge of television, movies, animation, and video games related to the DCU.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Screen Rant and other press attended a DC Studios event as they unveiled the first half of what they are calling Chapter 1 of the DCU. With Gunn and Safran present at the media event, the two DC Studios co-CEOs were asked about the future of Aquaman and The Flash. In reference to The Flash movie, the duo talked about it resetting everything for the DCEU.
Momoa's DCU situation has been a big mystery ever since the Aquaman star began hyping a mystery project with Gunn and Safran. Earlier reports initially indicated that after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, there were no further plans for him to portray Arthur Curry. But that is where the Lobo speculation began, and based on their statements this week, there is no locked deal yet for Momoa to play the iconic bounty hunter.
Given the DCU will start with the new Superman reboot, it seems likely the DCU's Aquaman and Flash will be played by new actors. If Aquaman and The Flash sequels are greenlit, that might give the DCEU a continuation as an Elseworlds franchise, or they could be incorporated into the main DCU. Still, the DCU may go in a new direction for Flash and Aquaman, particularly with the speedster, as there are other heroes that have carried the mantle.
